Wuyuan City, the government office.

He Lu was in the lobby, discussing with Wu Zixu, Fu Ji and Fu Cha's three cronies.

"Great King, the thousands of soldiers of Qingji have already set up camp in Pushui, which is less than thirty miles away from Wuyuanyi."

Wu Zixu frowned and said: "The minister inquired and learned that the general sent by Qingji this time was Sun Wu, and he only knew that he was the son of Sun Ping, who had lived in seclusion in Fujiao Mountain, wrote books and said, and the rest did not know. ”

"According to the news from Wudu, Qingji is quite important to Sun Wu, and he also has an elite army called 'Trapped Camp' under his command, which should not be underestimated!"

Hearing this, He Lu couldn't help but squint his eyes and felt very jealous.

"Sun Wuke has signs of attacking?"

"Not really."

Wu Zixu shook his head and said, "Sun Wu just ordered his soldiers to bury the antlers and build fortifications. The minister's intention should be to sit here and prevent our army from going north to attack Wu together with the Yue people! ”

He Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he insisted on killing Wu in his heart, but the time had not yet come, how could he rush to the front line and fight Qingji's military horses?

"On the Vietnamese side, is there any news?"

"Lobbying has not yet made progress."

Wu Zixu said: "The king, the minister heard that Qingji has sent Bo Ji as an envoy to enter Vietnam again to lobby Yunchang. Now the Yue Kingdom is still hesitating between standing by and fighting Wu! ”

With a "bang", he didn't lose his temper yet, and the son-in-law who was sitting on one side suddenly couldn't help it, glared at his eyes and said angrily: "The more barbarians really can't support the wall with mud!" ”

"A bunch of fools! The Chu people are already attacking Luzi on a large scale, and the troops are pressing the border, and the Yue barbarians are still looking ahead and hesitating? ”

"If we take advantage of the fact that Qingji's main army is not in Wudu, the Yue Barbarians can join us to attack Wu, wouldn't we be able to succeed in the first battle and completely defeat Qingji?"

Hearing this, Wu Zixu just sighed and said, "Son, if you are Yue Wang Yunchang, you may also have doubts. ”

"After all, in the battle between Wu and Chu, the outcome has not yet been decided, can Yue dare to fight?"

"You must know that Wu and Yue signed an alliance at the right time, and sent Yue to marry and become the queen of Qingji, so Wu Yue is so good, how can Yun Chang have no scruples?"

Wu Zixu paused, and said: "Besides, Wu and Chu have been attacking each other for more than 60 years, and Wu has won six wins, three draws and one loss, repeatedly breaking the Chu army, and each time it is more with less. ”

"This time, who dares to guarantee that Qingji can't break the Chu army?"

"This ......"

The husband couldn't reply to Wu Zixu, so he could only choose to remain silent.

They are all well aware of Yunchang's concerns!

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the country has formed a containment with the Vietnamese country.

He Lu cut down Wu by himself, it was difficult to support it alone, the Yue country attacked Wu, Yun Chang was afraid that the Chu army would be defeated by the Wu army, and the Yue country would not lose the rice by stealing chickens!

Compared with the Yue Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom can already be called a behemoth.

And the combat power of the Wu army is even better than that of the Vietnamese army!

In recent years, the Yue State often sent troops to invade the territory of the Wu State, but they could not take any advantage, and the comparison of military strength between the two countries can be seen.

"Zixu, in your opinion, what should the widow do at this time?"

He Lu had to ask Wu Zixu for a plan.

The latter just pondered for a while, and then said: "King, with all due respect, the only way we can win over the Yue Kingdom now and make it send troops to attack Wu is only one ......."

"How?"

Seeing that Wu Zixu was still selling Guanzi, He Lu couldn't help but inquire urgently.

"The king, this countermeasure proposed by the minister is for reference only, please don't blame the king."

Wu Zixu first received a dose of preventive injection.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Everyone present looked at Wu Zixu in confusion.

"If Yun Chang joins forces with us and fights Wu together, the king can only make the trip if he declares himself a vassal to the Yue State and nominally returns the land of the cities under his rule to the Yue State!"

"What?"

As soon as he heard this, he couldn't help but change color and was shocked.

"Bastard!"

Immediately, the grumpy husband couldn't help but stand up, pointed at Wu Zixu's nose and scolded: "Wu Yuan, are you your father's adviser or the courtier of Yue Kingdom?" ”

"You dare to instigate your father to dedicate land to the Yue Barbarians, what is your intention!"

Seeing this, Wu Zixu just said lightly: "For today's plan, the king can only stabilize his heart by claiming to be a minister and offering land." ”

"Otherwise, once Qingji breaks the Chu army, won't we miss the opportunity? If Qingji goes south to attack me with the momentum of a great victory, or even fights with Yue on both sides, won't we sit back and wait for death? ”

Wu Zixu's words made the three people present fall silent and speechless.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and made a painful decision!

"Zixu, it's up to you to make the leap and lobby for always. The widow is willing to belong to the country of Yue and dedicate the land! ”

"Father!"

The husband is very angry.

But He Lu just covered his forehead and said bitterly: "The widow has made up his mind, no need to say more!" ”

"The king is wise."

Wu Zixu also sighed, feeling helpless.

Offering land to the Yue barbarians he has always looked down on, how can Wu Zixu not feel humiliated in his heart?

The same is true for you!

But, now, they have no choice.

Either sit back and wait to be wiped out by the Qingji army, or watch the Chu people destroy Wu, these two endings are not what Lu Lu wants to see!

……

The war there has been going on until the tenth day, and it is still in full swing.

It's just that Qingji, who is far away in Wudu, is still recruiting soldiers and warships from all over the country, and the grain and grass are heavy!

Qingji never fights unprepared battles!

This time, the state of Chu secretly dispatched troops to raid Luzi, and it was not until the boat division of the Chu army appeared on the river that there was no report.

The news that the Chu State will attack Wu was still learned by Qingji from the mouth of the envoy of the Jin State, Shi Mimu!

How ridiculous!

Could it be that Wu Jun was so rushed to the battle?

No, never!

Qingji has the courage of a strong man to break his wrist.

Even if the city of Luzi fell, and all the soldiers and civilians defending the city were killed, Qingji would not hesitate.

This can't blame Qingji for being cold-blooded and ruthless, the Gain War is so cruel, he can't bet on the national fortunes of Wu on others!

On this day, Qingji was inspecting the camp and condolences to the soldiers of Wu who were still in the process of integration.

In this era of frequent wars, basically every adult male in Wu has been on the battlefield and received decent military training.

However, just like the three hegemons of Jin, Qi, and Chu, the military service system of Wu is a compulsory soldier for cultivators!

Fighting in wartime and farming in leisure time will not be delayed, but this will affect the combat strength of some soldiers.

Especially when the large corps is fighting, the troops that have not gone through a certain run-in period rush to the battle are tantamount to sending them to death!

"Newspaper—"

Suddenly, a junior colonel galloped over, turned over and dismounted in front of Qingji, and handed a bamboo slip with both hands.

"King, Wuyuan battle report!"

A battle report from Takehara?

Could it be that something happened to Sun Wu's side?

Qingji's heart couldn't help but chuckle, and a bad premonition came to his mind.
